Virus Scan of C drive

I have had Avast! running on my new PC its whole life, about two months. All seems well. Can I run a scan of my C drive using Avast! while the Avast! 24/7 software is running?

If you are asking whether you can run a scan of your C: drive while avast!'s resident protection is active, then yes, sure.

Do you mean run an AV scan with another AV scanner ?

Do you mean an avast on-demand scan, that you initiate or something else ?

If so, right click the avast icon, select Start avast! Antivirus, there will be a memory scan first when this is complete the Simple User Interface will be displayed. Here you can select Local Drives (all hard disks), Folder Selection (limited folder or partitions 'c:'), don’t select this in conjunction with the Local drives as will duplicate the scan or Removable Media (CD, DVD, Floppy, etc.).
